Oh, that’s the first ill thing I’ve heard about. Noted and Thank you!

That’s what got me looking at Sonarr and Radarr. I’m not sure if I’d rather do that or switch to a different service

😑 how did you know that was one of my problem files

Yep. That’s how I spent my afternoon

How’s that one for sharing with people?

Eh, it’s a meme. If people interacted hopefully it gave them a chuckle if nothing else

Fuck it, I’m redownloding most of my library. Going to go through these files with a comb until it likes them and if that doesn’t work I’m trying jellyfin

Radarr seemed pretty clever but yeah those are a lot of work

You can, if the file makes it into your library in the first place. You’ve never had it just ignore certain files?

Nice, alright I’ll add that to my options

I eventually got around to that too. Part of the issue is that I’ve got some nonstandard versions of some of the films and shows. Plex can handle some wierd things now, like if a long film is bisected into two files. But if you have a show that has episodes combined into multiple files, that version won’t work. Or if a season has a name instead of a number, it might get skipped or just haphazardly combined with another season’s episodes.

But also some of my problem files are anime and Plex doesn’t want to count OVA’s as anything so I guess I gotta look into that other service Chronographs mentioned

Is that another hosting service? I told myself I was going to try Jellyfin next if I threw in the towel in this but I haven’t committed yet. I’ll look into it 👍

Oh. Thanks, I wasn’t actually wanting help today. I just wanted to post memes to blow off some steam

The file structure it requires. It’s hard to pull off without breaking your torrents and after that it still will arbitrarily decide a file isn’t the type for the library you’re trying to import it into.

For a couple years I was getting around this by just keeping all my stuff in a single library and using the collections feature with all its options to make my own categories for standup, TV, and stolen YT videos. But today not even that lax of a setup could allow for some foreign films I wanted to add. It will just ignore movies or shows that it REALLY wants you to create an additional “other media” library for with no metadata

High school best friend’s first, long-term girlfriend became infatuated with me when we met. The more unavailable I tried to be, the more limerance I caused in her. I eventually started to crack because I wasn’t use to the attention and being pursued at all. It got ugly, I damaged that friendship irreparably but at least she realized I was kind of a piece of shit once she finally got to know me. Not soon enough for it to not be a disaster for everyone though.
